| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The Transparent Inter-Process Communication (TIPC) protocol offers total address |
| transparency between processes which allows applications in a clustered computer |
| environment to communicate quickly and reliably with each other, regardless of |
| their location within the cluster. |
| |
| TIPC originated at the telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson. The first open |
| source version of TIPC was created in 2000 when Ericsson released its first |
| Linux version of TIPC. TIPC was introduced in the mainline Linux kernel in 2006 |
| and is now widely used both within and outside of Ericsson. |
